More on The Great British Bake Off

Great British Bake Off promises the “most complex showstopper ever” in next week’s final

The BBC has unveiled details about what we can expect in the Great British Bake Off final next week and, we must admit, it sounds pretty intense.

We don’t know about you, but we still haven’t fully recovered from the trauma of Selasi’s departure in last night’s episode. After a disappointing bake in all three rounds, Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry had no choice but to send Bake Off‘s Mr Cool home, leaving Andrew Smyth, Jane Beedle and Candice Brown to battle for the crown in the final.

We may have lost one of our favourite bakers, but at least we don’t have to watch him suffer the torture in store for next week. It sounds as though Andrew, Jane and Candice might find the final hurdle of the competition rather stressful…

The theme for the last ever BBC episode of the Great British Bake Off is ‘Royal Bake Off’, featuring three challenges to impress the Queen.

The signature challenge will involve meringues; a baked treat that contestants have struggled with before, whilst the technical challenge will be set by Mary Berry. And she is not taking any prisoners for the final, providing the bakers with a meagre ONE instruction on her recipe. Mary, you evil genius!

However, it’s the final showstopper that we cannot wait for, as viewers have been promised “the most complex one ever seen on Bake Off with “the most bakes ever requested in a challenge”.

Oh, and only five hours in which to complete it all. Good luck.

Next Wednesday we will finally have a Bake Off winner. We can hardly believe it’s come around so fast! And in the last ever episode featuring Mary Berry, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins (sob), we will have to enjoy every single second of it.
